Friday Box Office: 'Suicide Squad' Plunges 79%, Holding No Better Than 'Batman V Superman'
http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottme...o-better-than-batman-v-superman/#184238056645
With relatively strong weekday numbers and halfway decent audience polling, there was a hope that Suicide Squad would avoid the massive second-weekend drop that befell Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice back in April of this year. That DC Comics sequel fell a whopping 81% on its second Friday, which was a record for a major comic book superhero movie. Well, meet the new boss, same as the old one. David Ayer’s supervillain team-up caper earned $13.35 million on its second Friday, a drop of 79% compared to its (admittedly Thursday previews-inflated) $65m opening day.
That brings its eight-day total to $192.4 million domestic, meaning it will inevitably cross $200m sometime today in nine days of release. As far as massive Friday-to-Friday drops, it’s sadly in the same league as Watchmen (-78.4%), The Dark Knight Rises (-76.6%), Green Lantern (-72%), and Man of Steel (-71.5%).
